@a1 check on tax preparation. This is a conflict of interest for many jobs at Wells. Be sure to check before doing this.
@gv damn I thought they were being facetious about the fast food gigs. So this is where we are. I’m not saying I’m above any job but we are destroying our economy with all this downsizing and limiting opportunity.
@cx Yeah right. $15 an hour for 3 hours a week. Get real. Have you BEEN in a fast food place recently? Other than closed-on-Sundays chicken, very few people actually working there.
@cx is especially su-ks for disabled people. Most minimum wage jobs involve working in an environment that would be hazardous to have mobility issues in.
Every fast food place around us is offering $15/hr and up so you can always do that as a stop gap.
The time to prepare has passed; all you can do now is what the others have said. Piece-meal your income while building a skill, slash expenses, AND/OR start looking for a new job now.
Save every penny you can, develop your skills, work on side hustles, and prepare your mind. Assume you will be downsized. That way when it happens it's not shocking and you can transition.
Try to earn money on the side.
